Cozy & Call To Act

Here is Cozy.... my first new item since the move and in over a month!




"Cozy" is just what I want to be when the leaves turn beautiful colors and the air is crisp. Cozy the kit is full of those warm autumn colors perfect for an autumn or back to school layout, or even Thanksgiving cards.

Included in Cozy are 8 artistic papers, 5 felty stitched leaves, 3 buttons, 3 tags, 2 frames, 2 ribbons, 2 flowers, 1 ribbon photo wrap, 1 swirl, and 1 string of beads. Enjoy!

** and as always! 20% Off today!

Here is a quick LO of the boys I did yesterday with Cozy~



And... wow... have you seen this yet? Call To Act at The Digi Chick.



Can you believe its free?

Call To Act is a kit created by your favorite designers from all over the community with a common desire to make a change. This kit is being given as a free gift to all scrapbookers that can show that they are taking action to help in their communities. This could be donating canned goods for needful families for Thanksgiving, clothes for those affected by the fires if you live in California, or volunteering your time at evacuation shelters, even being apart of a donation effort put together by your church or child's school for the holidays. Sometimes contributing monetarily isn’t always feasible. This kit is to encourage you to step up and step out into your community. As they say, give and you shall receive.


· Upload your receipt, or photo (blur out sensitive information of course) packing boxes, or participating in school donation events or such.


· Describe what you did to contribute in the credits area


· TDC Administrators will PM participants with a code to check out with the kit for free.


· Layouts must be uploaded to The Digichick gallery linked HERE to be eligible.

I participated!

Here in Montgomery County there is a place called Stepping Stone Shelter for the homeless. They take up to 6 families for 3 months, and help teach work skills to the parents. They also try to help find work and suitable living places for them once their term is over.

I belong to a Mom's Group Bible Study at my church and very recently we donated items for their "Oct Wish List." Stuff like new socks, coffee, underwear.... stuff most of us take for granted even if we are tight for money.

We felt really convicted about the Holidays and wanted to contribute again, and they offered us the parents for Christmas. Everyone always wants to do the kids, so we felt great about pampering the parents a bit that day too.

My contribution was nail polish for the 6 mothers there. I wanted to give them something personal and JUST for them.... and a bit upscale too.
